For a while now I’ve been procrastinating cleaning up my Address Book and organizing people in groups properly. I’ve grouped some of my contacts, but not completely. I simply forget to do so. When I’m on the go however, I’m always looking for certain people on my iPhone by groups. I’ve been loving how easy the new Facebook makes it to sort people by groups and see those particular news feeds and I started thinking, why isn’t there a complete synchronization between my computer and all these online services?

iPhoto 09 already offers some of this functionality. It allows for direct posting of photos to Facebook and Flickr. Syncing my Address Book not only with MobileMe, but also with Facebook and any other network of choice would be amazing. More and more these online profiles are becoming a necessity. People expect you to have one. In fact, I spend more time online than I do off, and I spend more time tweaking my Facebook contacts than I do my Address Book’s.

Why stop there? If you accept an invitation to an event on Facebook, it should be added to my iCal instantly. How cool would that be? Are my Facebook friends online? Show me that in iChat. I’m talking complete synchronization. It’ll happen sooner rather than later, perhaps not in the terms that I’m describing here, but it will happen, mark my words.
